帆布

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 帆布 is read as はんぷ and is a noun for thick, durable plain-woven canvas used for sails, bags, and similar goods.
• Basic usage: Mark the material with で in 厚い帆布でかばんを作る, or describe its purpose in 船の修理に使う帆布.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Material rather than a finished sail
  • Although the first character refers to a sail, the word names the durable cloth itself and is not limited to a finished sail.
• Sense of English canvas
  • Here canvas means heavy cloth used for bags and ship repair, not an artist’s prepared painting surface.
